Actually, you did spoil it with your set up. But it's worthwhile viewing nonetheless.

anyone watch it? they showed it in its entirety, even the post match interviews(Mac refused to address the crowd during the ceremony) Great match, great drama, truly deserving of 'classic' status. they are repeating it tomorrow as well.

I also thought it was interesting when the commentators mentioned Mac's 42 match win streak, they said that Vilas holds the record with 50(not the 46 that the atp said Vilas had when Federer was getting close earlier this year)

Interesting sport, in that they apparently can revise history many years later.
